Why was Sakura so popular in Iz*One?

Quote from Salalalala

Some wizards might be disappointed in me saying this, but I never got her hype at all. Neither her stage presence nor her aura or her personality. I guess it’s a matter of preferences

Lol wizard

Idk that Harry Potter is stanning Sakura

Quote from IVEgotNEWJEANS

Not just a regular idol, she is one of the Kami7.

Kami 7 is like the top 7 popular member in the entire 48 Jpn groups. And to reaching that, the idol needs to had a huge fandom or huge power.

Weebs.

I've never gotten the hype around her tbh. Her "stage presence" consists of the same deadpan smile even though she has gotten a lot better at dancing. Her facial expression just throws me off

She's gorgeous though and that appeals to kpop fans + She has a HUGE fanbase before Produce48

Cause her visual feel so different compares to the rest of bunch of korean-same-looking girls back then (I've no idea what kpop was pre-lver and she was the most stand out for me back then). She was the reason why I got into Iz*one and following kpop til now.
